A possible solution for this issue would be to have the NPCs transferred to other squads to make room for new players, or killed of entirely if the situation allows it realistically.


Well, since everyone seems to be in Valentins squad, I just wrote it as his squad is a little under manned as compared to the rest in the platoon, and that new recruits would trickle in throughout the deployment. I figured that would be a good workaround.

But, if we have NPC's, that would work well too and I would be happy to edit anything you guys think I should.

I suppose that will work fine. I am going to add two NPC's though (one to each fire team), seeing as how we lack a designated marksman, which is a must-have.

Hold on, are you trying to imply that a flamethrower isn't a long-range weapon? That's absurd! What if I added a scope? :lol2:

Ahhh true, I had forgotten. Never mind then, Private Hartmann will be sniping folks with fire at six hundred yards. :p

Shit, guess Valentins concerns about Hartmann were unfounded.

If only he had known already that Hartmann was a professional flame sniper.

Shhh, it's a secret.. Wolfgang just puts his thumb half-over the nozzle, like one does with a water hose to make it shoot farther. It's totally safe, don't worry about it.. May want to give him a wide berth though..

Also, post up. Mentioned some fluff about previous events in the war, nothing major of course. Happy to edit them out if needed.

Dropped a post. Sorry it's a bit on the shorter side, I think I'll be able to get in some good stuff once the RP gets going.

You're fine mate.

And there's my post. Feel free to get to know each other a little or even mess around while we all get ready. I've also gone ahead and added two NPCs to the squad in order to bulk it up, which you'll see on the roster. Carvalho is going to be our resident sniper.

Sniper/designated marksman would be a huge help. I just added an NPC to fill that role but I can remove him with no trouble, as he hasn't been mentioned anywhere.

Question. Am I going too futuristic with my descriptions of Wolfgang's armor/HUD? Looking back on my last post I realized I basically made a mix between Metal Gear Solid and Halo.. Oops..

Nah, I think you're fine. The technology level here is actually heavily inspired by the Halo universe, although our armor is much closer to the UNSC Marines than it would be the Spartans.

Cool. I just figured that a soldier who regularly works with incredibly high temperatures at close ranges would have higher protection, especially around the face/eyes.

Tag.

Edit; I've noticed we don't have a platoon sergeant, is it possible for me to create a character to fill that role?
